pushes the tarn well up on one side, an

tient. The stagnation and paralysis
uuuug viav xckov ouLtinier, are the worst dangers, and clo the work
and compared Attorney-General Olney quickly. Many men have been keeled
is pumped in to breathe.
People who work in the open air
would have only to work for a short
time in a diver’s suit, a caisson or an
airlock, getting a taste of what it is
like and how it feels, to be cured for-
ever of grumbling1 at their lot and to
thank their lucky stars that it has been
ordained that they work on top of the
earth. The work of a diver, his sensa-
tions while under water and his exper-
iences have often been written about,
but those of the airlock and caisson
worker have not. While he does not
face the danger of fouling pipes and
lines, as does the diver, he stays down
longer, gets warmer, and his great
danger lies in the stagnation of blood
and paralysis, resulting from the
changes of the atmosphere.
While a man working dn the surface
of the earth bears up an atmospheric
pressure of fifteen pounds to the inch,
men in the locks bear a pressure of
from fifteen to fifty pounds of com-
\ pressed air, according to the depth.
The heaviest pressure ever worked un-
der was borne by five divers on the
Swedish coast—sixty-five pounds. Four
of these died five minutes after coming
out.
While, as a general thing, the diver
stands not nearly that amount of pres-
sure and seldom stays down more than
two hours, the men in the Hudson
river tunnel stood a pressure of from
forty-five to forty-six and a half pounds
and worked in four-hour shifts. Some
men stayed down twenty hours at a
stretch, but did not work all the time,
and Superintendent Haskins once
stayed down twenty-four hours. The
sensations experienced are peculiar.
When a man first steps in there is a
tingling in the ear, and a pain in the
head, and when he talks it is apparent-
ly through the nose. This is caused
by the pressure, and the remedy is to
hold the nose, close the mouth and
blow against the ears. This relieves
the pain and stops the sensation.
Another peculiar thing about the ac-
tion of the pressure is that a man may
have liquor enough aboard when out-
side to just make him feel jolly, but
when he steps into the lock he is as
drunk as a loon. The danger lies in
coming out of the pressure into the
open air. It is then that a man is apt
to suffer from stagnation of the blood
and paralysis, caused by the chang-e of
atmosphere. Besides this a man may
be attacked in the head or stomach
with severe pains. Three out of five
cases where the head and stomach are
attacked result fatally.
Another severe malady resulting
from the change is what is called the
“bends.” This is the air getting in
between the flesh and the bone. It is
extremely painful, and so severe that a

you my bridle for it,’ says he. ‘No,’
says I. TH give you my saddle,’ says
he. ‘No,’ says I. ‘I’ll give you my
pony,’ says he. ‘No,’ says I. Finally,
if you’ll believe it, he offered his bridle
and saddle and pony all in a bunch for
a drink.”
“Well, and wouldn’t you give it to
him for all that?” asked the soldier's
listener.
“Not much,” said the soldier. “I
had only one drink left and I wanted
that myself.”—Harper’s Magazine.

over by these causes, and not a few die.
Old timers at the business sometimes
get caught. Mr. Rapier himself was
twice attacked. The remedy for this
paralysis is a quick return to the air-
lock. The effect of the pressure varies
on animals, as is shown by the mules
used in the Hudson river tunnel. Some
of these animals are kept at work
down below for a year, and on being
brought up are worth more than when
they were taken down. Others that
had only been in the works four months ;
had to be killed.
The men, as a general thing, do not
remain a great many years at the busi-
ness, and a man should never work at
it after he is forty years of age. Cut-
ting a hole and building a tunnel
through water is an extremely difficult
thing, and by many was thought to be
impossible. Still it was done in the
case of the Hudson river tunnel, and
the method, as told by Mr. Rapier, is
very interesting. The work on the
tunnel had progressed until a body of
water wras struck. How to tunnel
through this hole of water was a puz-
zling question. It was done in this
way: A so-called balloon was con-
structed by making a netting of wire
rope and covering this netting with
canvas. The interior of the balloon
was then filled with blue clay and salt
hay. When filled the balloon, thirty
feet in diameter, weighed one hun-
dred and forty tons. The hole of water
was then located, and, with the aid of
a huge steam derrick, the balloon was
dropped into the hole. Then several
scow loads of dirt were dumped down
on to the balloon, and the whole thing
was left to settle.
At the end of ten days the work of
cutting through the balloon was be-
gun. This was a very difficult job. An
idea of what hard cutting it was may
be gained from the fact that it took
two months to dig through the thirty
feet; the plates and brick were going
in as the work progressed.—Boston
Herald.
A Trick Willi Hat Bands.
For The Tribune.
Hat bands have become so like col-
lars that there is a chance for the in-
genious woman of small means to make
one accessory serve a double purpose.
Where in the beginning a simple band
was tied to hold the hat in shape and
make it stay on. there is now an elab-
orate combination of chiffon, velvet
and jewels that serves ornamental
effect only. They are so elaborate in
their ornamentalion that it is ridicu-
lous to call them bands, so why not
style them collars? They are made of
brilliant satin or velvet, are set with
buckles at either side or with a long-
curved one in front, and are drawn out
into big side loops or rosettes. Then
they are embellished with lace or chif-
fon. That sounds much like the de-
scription of a collar, so why not be wise
and have this new hat band made ad-
justable, so it can be worn either as a
collar or a hat band? These little
tricks permit small incomes to make a
goodly showing.
So many hats are large that the
smaller sizes seem to have been over-
looked, except for theater and evening
wear, but a small hat is entirely safe
from insignificance and unfashionable-
ness if trimmed with a plume or two.
The accompanying picture illustrates
this point, showing a wee black felt

I
side a deserted tannery.
Below the decaying dam the stream
breaks over a silvery gravel shallow,
very swift and strong. A few scat-
tered bowlders break the current in
places, and just below one of these
rocks I saw, as I emerged upon the
brush above, an old man bending over
and standing knee deep in the brook.
He had no rod and therefore could
hardly be fishing, and while I was
wondering what he was about I
thought he raised a bow, and drawing
back as if aiming an arrow, he let go.
Immediately he stooped and picked up
something which he placed in what
seemed to be a shining tin pail at his
i side. At first I thought my eyes were
playing me tricks, but as I drew nearer
(for I forsook the really excellent bit
of still-water fishing in the pond to in-
vestigate the old fellow’s work) I saw
that he had a real bow and real arrow
• and that he really shot into the water.
“Must be a lunatic, or some poor,
simple idiot,” I decided, and walking
up to the bank I yelled: “Good morn-
ing, friend. What are you doing with
•that apparatus?”
He took no notice of my repeated in-
quiring, not even looking up, so I
waded out to where he stood, and
yelled with all my might.. Then he
raised his head, and nodding, grunted:
“Shootin’ hardheads. Keep back out
er thet thai' rip ’fore yer scare ’em all
away!”
He was very deaf, but his reply in-
flamed my curiosity to such a degree
that I screamed again: “What are
hardheads?” He didn’t deign to stop
in his critical examination of the
stream’s bottom to answer, but pointed
to the pail. In it I saw twenty or
more little fish, gray backed, with
large squarish heads like catfish, only
without any horns, and none of them
over two inches long.
“What are they good for?” I bawled,
placing my mouth near his ear.
“Bes’ bait for big trout they is,” he
said, pausing and rising to stretch the
kinks out of his spine. “Beat young
lamprey eels, en shiners, en worms, en
everything. I shoots em fur a livin’.
Git two cents apiece fur ’em down to
Deckertown,” and with that he re-
sumed his labor. He would peer into
the stream till his sharp old eyes fixed
• upon the small shadowy fish feeding
i among the gravel. Then he would fit
his arrow, draw back, and shoot. There
would be a splash, and he would stoop
and pick up the little fish which would
float to the top as if dead. Placed in
the bucket it soon revived and swam
as lively as its fellows. The blow on
the head evidently only stunned them.
The old man had his arrow fast to a
short string tied to his wrist, so that it
could not float away down stream.
I bought one of the queer fish—I was
; fly fishing and had no facilities for
i carrying any live bait—and, trying
! him in the next g-ood pool, took a
Dur-
; ing the several years I have spent in

and arrow used as fishing implements.

America and the Art of War.
It is worth recalling that America
has three times had the honor of revo-
lutionizing the art of war. To Ameri-
can armies was due the introduction
□f the scout or open order system of
firing, with all the concomitants of
skirmishes, rifle pits, etc. Foreign na-
tions were slow to adopt it, but it came
at last, and is now universal. Ameri-
ca, too, was the first to introduce the
I extensive use of the rifle and the sights
of naval g-uns. To-day the rifle is the
universal arm of the infantry and a
cannon without sights or means for ac-
curate laying is as useless as one with-
out powder. The third revolution was
the introduction of the monitor, and
I here the honor belongs to the individ-
| ual rather than to the nation. Despite
all that may have been said to the
contrary, Capt. Ericsson’s traditional
“cheese box on a raft” was an entirely
unique construction; the idea had never
been previously carried into practice
and certainly had never been put into
successful form. The work of the
tnonitoi- produced a revolution in naval
ideas, of which the full extent has thus
far been only inadequately relalized.—
Cassier’s Magazine.
The Mosquito at Business.
The little insect drops g-ently and
daintily down on to the spot it has se-
lected for its attack, and the descent of
so light and airy a being is likely to
leave the victim unconscious of its
presence, unless he has actually seen it
settle. Then the proboscis is pointed
downward, and the tiny lips that form
its tip pressed against the flesh. The
bristles within the gutterlike sheath
being' then pressed together into one
solid boring implement their common
tip is forced down on the flesh, and as
they enter the wound, the trough in
which they were lying separates from
them in the middle, and becomes bent
toward the insect’s breast, the two lit-
tle lips all the while holding on tight.
The greater part of the length of the
stillettos is then plunged into the vic-
tim’s flesh, and the blood is drawn up
the fine insterstices of the composite
borer. The wound, though six instru-
ments are concerned in making it, is
extremely minute.—Our Household In-
jects.

A Sullivan County Bait Fish and a Native’s

There are more quaint and curious
things in ways and speech in'some
parts of Sullivan county, said a veteran
fisherman who had just returned from
his summer hermitage, a log cabin on
a big tract at the headwaters of the
Willowemoc, commenting on his ex-
periences the other evening, than in all
New England, and that is saying a
great deal. One of the queerest pur-
suits I came upon by accident, as I was
fishing early one morning- just below
the store and little settlement of Matt
Decker’s. Here the Willowemoc takes
into the big woods, and for the next
two miles it is pretty well shut in by
trees and high rocky banks. The first
bit of open country is when it breaks
from the forest into a meadow and
